Plato
Image
Just as bees make honey from thyme, the strongest and driest of herbs, so do the wise profit from the most difficult of experiences.
Plato
Image
I have this tattooed on my left side! I love the saying and it's a perfect description of Karma, don't judge/discriminate and don't do to someone what you wouldn't want done to you.
Plato
Image
Is what is moral commanded by God because it is moral, or is it moral because it is commanded by God?
Plato
Image
For the rhapsode ought to interpret the mind of the poet to his hearers, but how can he interpret him well unless he knows what he means?

Plato
Image
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
